Most Nintendo fans just aren't happy with anything unless it's first party exclusive. If I was IGA I'd just remove the stretch goal and put that money into putting forth more effort on the other versions.
I have to say that as both a WiiU owner and a frequent Kickstarter video game backer, I find the "this game has to be on the WiiU or I won't support it" group to be extremely annoying. They make a ton of noise, but at the end of the day, they rarely make much of a difference in the total funding on projects. I like the WiiU and love Nintendo first party games, but frankly, spending any money as a third party, let alone an independent developer/publisher to port games to the WiiU is a huge financial mistake. Ultimately, PCs, PS4 and Xbox One are an overwhelming majority of the software market right now and in the conceivable future and unless there is a specific reason that a game belongs on a platform like WiiU, Vita or 3DS, it's a poor decision to promise releases for those platforms as the long-term financial return will be terrible and the short term funding bump is negligible.
